NEET 2021 Physics Charge Distribution on Conductors MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Two charged spherical conductors of radius R₁ and R₂ are connected by a wire. Then the ratio of surface charge densities of the spheres (σ₁/σ₂) is :
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
When two conductors are connected, they have the same potential. The surface charge density is inversely proportional to the radius, so .
